Assuming the tag names are just for sample.... and you will have some meaningful tag names...

Try using any of the following HTML parsers...

http://home.ccil.org/~cowan/XML/tagsoup/

http://nekohtml.sourceforge.net/

http://jtidy.sourceforge.net/

They will give you the W3 compliant document object.... After this it is just a game of getElementsByTagName or getElementById or Use XPath or Xquery to get the elements from the DOM.

Otherwise you can use the following... They have their own document object implementation...

http://htmlcleaner.sourceforge.net/ [It also has some basic XPath support]

http://jsoup.org/ [It has jquery like query API]

ADD Check this... http://jsoup.org/cookbook/extracting-data/selector-syntax

I will recommend ... Either JSoup or Nekohtml
